Assessment
of Risk of Diabetes-related Complications Assessment of Risk of Diabetes-related Complications provides healthcare professionals with a valuable tool to identify people with diabetes who are more likely to develop diabetes-related complications. This assessment is important to help prevent and better manage complications, improve quality of life and reduce health care costs. It involves the collection of data on traditional risk factors (such as age, gender, ethnicity, and duration of diabetes) and then assessing these risk factors to determine the likelihood of developing complications. It can help provide information on lifestyle modifications that can reduce the risk of developing complications. This assessment also provides information on interventions that may be needed to better manage and/or prevent complications.
